Does anyone hear actually get any benefit from a nabling 5G on their phone? I have a 5G smart phone on a 5G capable data plan but whenever they ruled it out I never saw any noticeable improvement in coverage, speed, or anything. I'm on T-Mobile so I only have access to the mid band most of the time (no different than 4G LTE as far as I can see). Should I just keep it turned off on my phone to save battery?
stupid fricking froghomosexual
yes, ditch it to save power, nr is inefficient af
moron
mega moron
Yes, I would personally prefer fiber at home.
4g
>140Mbps connection
5g
>860Mbps connection
5ghz is not 5g cellular
>4g

problem is 5g doesnt penetrate buildings very well. if you're indoors the signal can be very weak.
Depends, usually not. The issue is that mature 4G is already pretty good and what exactly "5G" means varies a lot depending on the provider. 5G has more long term growth capacity but that doesn't mean it's actually much better right now.
It's always like this. Wireless networks take a long time to get fully upgraded so the transition to a new generation of tech doesn't really happen as quickly as the 3G->4G->5G naming might suggest.
>Should I get 5g, guise?
So I would only buy flagship devices and premium services up until recently when I became poor.
This year I purchased a shitty moto g power 5g and I'm using a shitty carrier with prepaid 15gb /month.
The device and service are the same if not better than my previous setup. I think it's the 5g and the prepaid data that are making this seem like the best device I've ever had.
The carrier doesn't throttle data because you've prepaid for it. And I haven't had any issues with coverage although I live in a major urban hub in California.
Also, this device only needs to be charged every other day.
>a nabling
Let me nip something in the butt for you. For all intensive purposes, it's a doggie dog world out there, and the reason your life is a damp squid is you. I could care less if you make an escaped goat out of every butt-naked or scandally clad woman you see. Hope that you'll be biting your time and, putting some duck tape on your life. Then this condescending post will turn out to be a blessing in the skies and not hurt your self of steam too much.
Sir, what's a nambling?
>Is 5G a meme?
sort or, it's literally slightly higher frequency, more spectrum, another wicked modulation scheme (but not full moron like with wifi7 with 4096 QAM) and thus more speed for end users.
have I felt the difference? not really (besides "more speed").
one good thing i can think of is finally enabling volte/voonr by in most of the plans, so internet speed doesn't fallback 2/3G speeds
>inb4 who the frick still uses his phone to call
No, because I primarily connect to the internet through my home's vpn which is bottle necked by a 100m ethernet adapter coming out of a pi zero
4g is in danger of being sunset by 2030 as part of the usual planned obsolescence schedule even though people really don't need or deserve more bandwidth.
I don't even see any point to upgrade to 5G. 4G is fast enough for anything I would do on a phone.
It's going to be used to track us more. You know how the police can check if your phone pinged a tower? Well those 5G towers need to be built all over the place. So they'll be able to track you more granularly as you traverse the city. Are you in the vicinity while a crime is committed? Now you're a suspect because you were connected to the 5G tower.
>Well those 5G towers need to be built all over the place
but that isn t happening. they use too much power so phone companies cant afford to operate many.
its shiet
I have needed mobile internet maybe twice in my whole life.

How are you supposed to frogpost from the toilet then?
I only shit at home
I don't know, there is no 5g in my country. My phone support 5G though, I have OnePlus 9 pro.
5g works better when you live in 5g area.if the distance to celltower is great and you are about only user ,older tech are faster
>Does anyone hear actually get any benefit from a nabling 5G on their phone?
The benefit goes to the panopticon. The purpose of 5G is to track everything everywhere in urban areas on the cheap.
I disable to save battery, there's nothing I can't do on 4G and if need more I'll connect to a wifi
5G is a benefit for the operators, not for the users. Yes, connection speeds go up somewhat, but mainly its pushed because it allows the operators to to save on infrastructure costs.
